Stora Enso’s Imatra mills achieve record low emissions

By developing and optimising their production processes and improving energy efficiency, Stora Enso’s Imatra mills have reduced their direct and purchased energy related greenhouse gas emissions to a historically low level. In 2025, the mills’ specific emissions (Scope 1 + 2) were 104 kg CO₂e per tonne of production (cf. 2019: 191 kg CO₂e). At the same time, the mills’ total emissions decreased by more than 100,000 tonnes of CO₂e compared to 2019 levels. In the same year, wastewater volumes fell to below 50 m³ per tonne of production. In addition, total sulphur emissions to air and nitrogen oxide emissions declined to their lowest levels in the history of the Imatra mills.
